Princess Of Mobius

"But I already heard all those stories, mom." A young light purple hedgehog said. She looked about ten years old and was getting herself comfy in her bed, grabbing her white blanket and pulled it up to her chin. The closer you look you notice that her room was small and brown due to it being made of wood. Her mother, a pink hedgehog, walked up to her bed and sat on the edge. She fixed her white dress that wrinkled itself when she sat down; her emerald eyes looking at her daughter.

"Koral, sweetie. But they are your favorite stories. Snow white and the poisoned apple, sleeping beauty and the fairy godmothers, Cinderella and the mice, the little mermaid and-"

"And Sebastian, the beauty and the beast and the talking kitchen ware. I know them all by heart and that's why I love them. But mommy, I want to know another one." Koral pouted some, her own emerald eyes shining in the light of the candle. The mother laughed some and moved the quills off from her daughter's face,

"Okay, I will tell you a new story." She saw the expression of glee that her daughter had.

"Listen closely and listen well, because not many have heard of this story. This happened not so long ago, but it did happen in a distant land. The forest surrounded the town where many townspeople lived. They were all happy because they were in peace. All was friendly between all the people and the children would play all around. There was no war or fighting and this was all thanks to the king and his family. Their castle that was on the edge of the town; like every castle, it had a tall wall all over it. Things may be peaceful but you could never be too careful. Many adored the castle, from the other end of the town you could see the gleam of the white castle in the sunlight, sparkling in the morning with the dew. When you walk past the gates, you could see the garden and the many plants it had. Everything was green and bright. If you look over to the right, you could see the roses that were all pink and no other color."

"Why were they pink?"

"If you listen closely, you will find soon enough, sweetie. Now, where was I? Oh yes. To the left there were other kinds of flowers, all different in the left while the right was exclusively for the roses. When you walk towards the castle, you start seeing many fountains that were of angels and magical faeries. Then you see the castle up front; tall, white and glorious of course. Two large pillars holding up the white porch, the stairs looking as if no one had walked on them, the doors looking so big that guards open them for you instead of butlers. The inside was as beautiful as the outside; gleaming tiles, windows so tall, the curtains as white as snow, the maids so polite, the butlers so helpful, the guards so protective. This was all owned by King Gregory. He was tall and strong, smart and quick on his feet. He was a green hedgehog and grey eyes, always wearing his crown with a royal red cape. Always beside him was his wife, Queen Aleena, a purple/magenta hedgehog with light green eyes, also wearing there on her head was a crown that was slightly smaller than her husband's and also a royal red cape with a light purple gown with was made of silk . They ruled the kingdom together with the experience of the past. The townspeople loved them and respected them; they haven't seen a better king and queen before them and they anticipated the same with the next generation. The king and queen had four children; three their own and one adopted. There was the youngest, Miles. He was adopted when he was very young by the royal couple, who wanted to help out the orphanage and instantly fell in love with him. He was a yellow, two tailed fox that always were a small crown and a cobalt blue cape. He was very shy and would only talk to his family and some of the butlers. Then there was the youngest and only princess, Sonia. She was a violet hedgehog, always wearing a small crown and beautiful blue gown, and with the skillful hands of the best pianist in the whole kingdom. Ever since she was young, she was taught to play the piano and was top of her class. Her parents are very proud of the talented and etiquette of the young girl. Then there was Manic, the second son. He was a green hedgehog with a small crown and a red vest because he didn't like the cape. He was some of a trouble maker compared to the rest of the family. Unlike the other children, he would rather be outside with the commoners and be around them. Due to this, he was named the townspeople voice; if the people had a concern, Manic was sent to them and he would address the problem. Because of this, many loved Manic and cherished him as their own. And then there was the eldest son, Sonic. A cobalt blue hedgehog with emerald eyes who always wore his crown and royal red cape. His personality made the girls swoon over for him, and all he had to do was walk in front of them. He was very handsome and the girls noticed. Girls wanted him, boys wanted to be him. He was always nice to the young ladies but especially to one. Amy Rose, the daughter of the Duke of State Square and The Duchess of State Square*; a light pink hedgehog with emerald eyes, always wearing her light pink/almost white dress with small rubies on it at the bottom, a red sash as a belt and gloves that were the same color as her dress which was long enough to not show her shoes. The duke and duchess were friends of the king and queen, so naturally the young ones became friends. Over the years, sparks started to fly between the pink and blue hedgehog and they were now having a relationship. Their parents couldn't be any happier; Amy was very smart and respected by the people and beautiful of course and Sonic was the wise, young prince that everyone adored. They knew they would become the new king and queen and would rule the kingdom well. But even with all this, the young prince was somewhat unsatisfied. It felt like something was missing, not an object but more of a sense, a sense that bugged him ever since he was young.

On this day of the story, we follow the young duchess walking towards the young prince's room. She walked up the stairs as her heels tapped with the tiles.

'Good morning, mistress.' A maid said as she walked out of a room, probably done cleaning it.

'Good morning. Do you know if Sonic is awake yet?' Amy asked as she looked towards the end of the hall. There were many pictures on the wall of the passed Kings and Queens. They were all leading up to the expected room.

'The young prince is still in his room, mistress. He had a rough night doing some work.' The maid informed her. Amy walked away after thanking the maid, who lowered her head to her as a sign as respect. She knocked on the door of the last room but there was no answer. She decided to go in either way. As always, the thing that caught her sight was the huge bed that Sonic owned; not even her own bed was that big. She saw the lump under the white covers that seemed to be breathing ever so simply. This made Amy smile, knowing that her future husband was sleeping well. Then beside the bed was the tall window that had dark blue curtains hanging over them. Amy decided to let the sun into the room, which quickly lighten up the room. The lump shifted itself which made Amy giggle. The sun glistened on the nightstand where a candle was left and some few other things. Next to the door was a closet, which was also bigger than Amy's, and then a mirror, which was once again bigger than the young duchess'. She jumped onto the bed as she laughed when she landed on something soft.

'What a beautiful awakening.' Sonic grumbled as he poked his head out from his blankets. When he saw the smiling face of his girlfriend, he smiled to himself and hugged her, pulling her to lie down next to him.

'Good morning.' Amy said as she kissed Sonic's nose, getting the same response from him. He hugged her tighter as they cuddled on his bed.

'I heard you were doing some hard work last night.' Amy asked as she snuggled against the blue fur of Sonic.

'Hm? Oh yes, my father decided to let me have some fencing lessons from him. I never knew my father was that strong.' He blinked some, still not used to the light, as he ran his hand on Amy's back.

'He is the King, young prince.' This made Sonic chuckle some. Sometimes he does forget that they come from a family of royalty. Many people would love the royal life. Not having to do much, only the fancy things of life. Not having to worry of work, the maids and butlers were there. Not having to worry of attacks, the guards were there. But all of that prevented something, something unknown to the prince, something that he yearned to have a little taste of.

'Oh, Sonic. Soon we will get married, once you become eighteen years of age, and we will be so happy to finally live together. The marriage will be big and beautiful and it will have the most beautiful roses.' Amy said with a big smile on her face.

'Pink roses, of course.' He remembered his soon to be wife.

'Of course! Nothing but. We can invite our friends and family. I will invite Rouge and have her by my side. I just hope she doesn't cry, or she will definitely make me cry.' Amy imagined her longtime friend on her wedding day, it would be terrible to see her cry but it would be a sight to see since she rarely cried. Then another thought flew into her mind. This made her sigh and Sonic took notice as he looked down at her.

'If only Rob could come as well.' Rob O'Hedge, the cousin of Amy Rose. They were very close when they were young. They stood out when they played out in the garden, with her pink fur and his teal fur. Once he turned eighteen, not so long ago, he decided to leave the kingdom. He blabbered about becoming King of the legendary Deerwood Forest. Many thought he was crazy but he didn't care. His dreams were in that kingdom and he had his sights on it. Amy had heard many of his crazy plans and dreams that he had about Deerwood Forest, and like the good cousin she was, she listened and nodded. If she knew that he really was going to leave, she probably would have talked his out of it but she didn't see it coming so soon. It has been years since he left, and he hasn't returned yet or heard any news of him. Many think that he has died and Amy is starting to believe them. Upon seeing the sadness on her face, Sonic decided to change the subject.

'Have you seen the new roses blooming?' Roses, that would keep her mind off of him.

'Oh yes! They bloomed not so long ago, their scent was so magical when I came into the garden. And their shade of pink makes the garden look so beautiful.' She looked up at him as she smiled. Of course the roses were beautiful, he made the gardener plant them there because their beauty reminded him of Amy, the rose of his life.

'Oh, Sonic. The future looks so bright for us. I just know it will be so magical. I can't wait for the future.' Amy snuggled up against him as she dreamt of Sonic on the thrown and herself sitting next to him, wearing the crown that the queen was currently owning; oh how much she wished for that day.

'Yeah…the future.' The future. Those two words echoed inside of Sonic's mind. He didn't know why but he dreaded the word, he always did. Ever since he was a child, he had dreaded those two words spoken to him. Why? He thought it was because the future is supposed to be unexpected or a goal to reach, but his future, his future was already planned out ever since he was young. He knew what he was going to do for the rest of his life, and he knew what beauty he would marry. Though Amy and Sonic fell in love when they were pre-teens, their parents had already arranged the marriage. If Sonic would have fallen in love with another, it wouldn't matter, he would end up with Amy anyways. He was going to be king, like it mattered. He was the oldest, and that granted him to be the king. He didn't have to fight another child for it, he didn't have to fight his way to the top, he didn't have to fallen in love with a princess, he just had to be born first.

Then there was the other dreadful feeling of the missing feeling. What was it? He just didn't know. He had felt it since he was young, to be exact, when he saw the guards taking the challenge of the king. His father had defeated all of the knights with ease and he wondered why. He asked his father why he was so strong and his father simply replied, 'Because I wasn't a prince. I had to be a knight, no, the greatest knight. And the king had no brothers or sons, so he trusted me for king. I had to break sweat night and day for this. I had to beat many and slay some. Sleep on the floor of the forest infested with monsters. I had to do many for this crown. Be happy that you are lucky and you don't have to fight for the top. But you still need to practice. Now get ready.' Lucky? Did he really feel lucky? What was that feeling that his father described? Should he worry? That feeling was unknown for him, yet he wanted to grasp it. If only his reach was a little closer. But no, it was very far, very far indeed. That feeling, the sense, the attack that his body gave him. What is it? What could it be? Was his father right? Was he really lucky?

'Amy, have you ever felt like you were missing something?' Sonic looked up at the draping the pillars of his bed had.

'Hm? Of course, but I found it. He was always there; I just needed to open my eyes.' She giggled as she hugged him somewhat tighter. Typical response of a girl, he guessed that females were different from men. Their thoughts weren't only in love, but of their own duties. But does that count as himself? Is the unknown really a duty he had?

'Young prince, you must get up soon. You must address the town soon.' A maid was heard in the other side of the door after she knocked twice. He grumbled some as he stood up and stretched.

'I'll get out then. I shall wait for you with Sonia. Don't go address the people without me.' Amy said as she walked to the door. Seeing the chuckling boy, she ran back, kissed his cheek and then ran out the room."

The mother had stopped upon seeing her young daughter yawning.

"I think that's it for tonight." She informed as she stood up from the bed.

"No, I want to hear more. All you did was put up…um…what did my teacher called it? The…the setting. The setting, mother." Koral protested.

"Yes, but you have school tomorrow. I will continue the story tomorrow, okay?" The mother kissed her daughter's forehead as the daughter pouted.

"Now, go to sleep or I won't tell you anything." She started to walk towards the door with the candle in hand.

"Oh, okay." Koral shifted in the bed and finally gpt comfortable.

"Good night."

"Good night, my rose." The mother said as she walked out, blowing a candle that was on a desk near the door.

{I believe that was my first chapter. I think it's pretty good. I kinda got the idea from one of my favorite song in the new album on of my favorite bands released. I'm mad though…the radio is broadcasting it…and I know the reason why… Well…I have a challenge for you. Find out the band and the song that inspired me and you get a prize! You might have to read the rest of the story to find out so "echale ojo!" ("keep an eye on it" in Spanish). The title of the story also helps. Don't put up the answer until I finish it okay. You might get help by the stupid media (is actually pissed…might go on a rant later).The asterisk is for State Square Kingdom…I didn't think Stations existed back then (whatever time was that), so I just put up state. So….PLEASE REVIEW. Reviews keep the world go round…do you want to end the cycle of the earth and die from no time lapse? I think not! You need time for memories, you need time for people…and food. You need time to make food.}
